What Is Alexandrite?
Rarity, Coloration, and Source Are The Main Alexadnrite Valuation Factors
Numerous factors affect alexandrite value, including rarity, coloration, and source. Many Brazilian examples display superior purple and red hues, while Russian alexandrite usually displays superior green tones. Ability to display color change is one of the most important valuation factors. Examples of Russian alexandrite are rare as new production is limited and most original Russian-sourced stones are housed in museums and private collections. If you have old Russian alexandrite, your stone is likely of greater value than similar-sized stones from other sources.
When You Sell Alexandrite, Consider Clarity, Cut, and Size Too
Clear stones are typically faceted, while very dark or opaque examples are often cut into cabochons which are often less valuable than faceted stones. Fine alexandrite over three carats often retails for over $100,000. Since all factors are taken together when determining the gemstone’s value, it is vital to work with a top, unbiased gemologist.
Typical Alexandrite Jewelry
Top-quality alexandrite is rarely seen in modern jewelry. Instead, it is typically found in antique Russian jewelry and in some Victorian pieces. Alexandrite was discovered in April of 1834 in an emerald mine in the Ural Mountains. The first gem was discovered on the very day that Tsar Alexander II came of age and is named in his honor. Since its green and red colors are those of Imperial Russia, alexandrite was tsarist Russia’s national stone.
